gravitylover Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Sorta maybe. If we don't get into a wet period, if it doesn't rain again this week I bet the surface dries out quickly. Fauna growth rates are outrageous right now and all those plants will suck the first few inches dry in no time without replenishment. I think we're still down a pretty fair bit over a year, probably not full on drought but it is dry because of the dry spring and the surface will go back to crackly dry pretty quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right, of course. we’ll dry out and then, at some point, it will rain again. 5.45” for may here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Turned into a pretty nice late afternoon. Looking forward to some dry time tomorrow to work on the truck. Its getting a new thermostat, new rear shocks, new pads and brake hardware up front, new sway links in front and I'll figure out what needs to be done next. I know a bunch of bushings and rubber bits need to be replaced and I think I need to rebuild at least the front Brembo calipers and lube and massage the rears I'm pretty sure all the control arm bushings are shot, at least a couple of ball joints and the hub knuckle bushings on the right rear are scary bad but I'll confirm all that while things are apart. Anyone wanna come help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone wanna come help? Cars assembled from spare parts cost at least 3x as much as the dealer charges. Spares are where the money is, is cars as well as in airplanes. So if you're spending your long weekend doing a suspension tear down, thank you, you're helping keep small US suppliers alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Yeah these parts came from a couple of suppliers here in the States, some of the product is Asian and Euro but it came from domestic warehouses. Anyway... How wet are we going to get the next few days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 It stopped drizzling for a few minutes at a time, hasn't really rained since this morning though but it's wet. Really wet. A lot more than .05 should be. It's looking like more significant rain is incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 paltry .13" yesterday. Looking forward to a weekend of outdoor activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 That's double what I got. It is pretty wet but the ground stayed dry under my potato plants and only got moist in the berry patch so I'm thinking it needs watering during the heat tomorrow.
